If you look at it from the political side that this is the basic idea of liberal democracy.
Everyone votes in their best interest and especially in proportional representation you get some compromise of the interests.
Right now at least in politics people act less in their own interest but more of what they emotionally feel like their interest.

After my bikepacking trip I will pitch the interrail to my parents. They are so excited about the places I visited but don’t know how or if they will be able to get there. They (me too) don’t like flying and by car it is just too stressful.
This is bit misconception, pigs are really similar to us and we can get BSE or how is it called in humans (it has several names according to the animal that gets the disease).
The problem why the BSE got out of hand was because they used these parts as feed for another animals.
To be honest I understand the children here. The saving part of me just understand that it is better to use everything.
It’s pretty much the same with pigs, only part that isn’t used is brain.
Pretty good, yes the English is bit non existent there and I liked a bit more Portugal in this.
I left Spain yesterday and now heading to Paris.
No, most people are pragmatic in this case and eastern countries changed from Russian ~30 years ago so another change isn’t coming any time soon.
As my parents saw the change from “it is really appreciated that you can speak English” to “it is expected that you can use it”. I can tell that it is so engrained in our multinational exchange that it won’t be even desirable.
You know in regards to foreign policy of US it is happening for long time, at least since 90’s. What Trump does right now just makes this stuff really obvious for ordinary people.

From my point of view as a foreigner the US political system is broken and nobody tried to correct it so this was only matter of time. And yes when something like this happens most people just want to get by.

I will just copy my comment from the original thread.
What’s weird in CZ is that at that price you can get craft beer in small brewerys. Big brewerys raised prices after covid and small brewerys pay half tax.
I have complex relationship.
I am real, she is imaginary.
Cyclists, some people just see red when they came across cyclist at the road.
To be honest the comparison with Trump is bit harsh.
Because of how fucked up are American politics all the populists and right wing parties are compared to him.
In fact he has closer ties to democrats in USA than to republicans. But that doesn’t mean that he isn’t populist, political chameleon and sometimes in his retorics gets bit to the extreme to catch most possible votes.
